Daisies evaluation action
2022-04-07 08:01
Although the film uses the eyes of two girls with the same name to understand this unfamiliar world, the film is full of unexplained images, so it may have been a simple and innocent story, but it is buried in irony. Sex, in too formalized images
.
"Daisies" is the most personal and visually striking work of the 1960s. The film is not only narrative chaos, but also breaks the rules of audio-visual language. With colorful images, gorgeous visual styles, and surrealistic narratives, welcome to the fantasy paradise of feminism. This is a paradise for two inseparable girls who share the same name - Mary, which may suggest that one girl is a lookalike or inner psychological reflection of the other. Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere. Marys want to break this boring world that is bound by rules and regulations. They use games to deconstruct and subvert this smug fallen world, and fall happily in their own way. The film set the pattern for many later feminist films—the exile of two lonely women—and to some extent implicitly alludes to homosexuality among women.
Yet this fusion of feminism and anarchism, like all slick-looking flicks, is in danger of being superficial. This presents a common paradox, the dialectical relationship between the form and the content of the work. "Daisies"'s dazzling shots and avant-garde editing make the film's feminist stance an itch for reality. Unless the audience cares less about the depth and authenticity of the film, and sees it as a purely visual feast, it is likely that they will be confused by the theme and content of the film and spend an hour and a half in the dark
